This is an assassination plot in the making

LAST Tuesday’s display by the city’s Mayor and “friends” all add up to an assassination attempt by the group on the acting Town Clerk, which should result in her dragging the chief culprit Hamilton Green before the court. After mounting several unsuccessful protest actions to unseat the  acting Town Clerk, Green thought it best to resort to (what this old bully is known for) violence. It is a long sordid story; that is, Green’s persistence to get Carol Sooba out of office, all of which ended in his defeat. Having been embarrassed by these futile attempts he has decided to gather a few of his
notorious characters to stage a mock funeral for her. He cannot deny this fact because those so-called protesters went straight to his office where he welcomed their presence there at City Hall. So Green cannot now say that the “protesters” were just an overzealous bunch of people who were agitating for their “beloved Mayor”; nor can he say this was an idle prank.
It goes quite contrary to that statement, what we now know is that the raucous horde was a group of paid individuals who went there with the expressed intention to terrorise and/or harm the Town Clerk, and for this Green must atone.
The act of persons mounting a mock funeral for the Town Clerk under the auspices of the Mayor of Georgetown, whether publicly or privately constitutes a criminal act and Miss Sooba should not hesitate to take Mayor Green to court. He must tell the court what his plans were when that mob stormed into City Hall.
The marauding horde’s actions are all consistent with threatening remarks made by Green such as “watch your back”, among others. Miss Sooba herself recently suffered a violent attack at her home when shady characters channa bombed her residence. These are not matters that the acting Town Clerk should take lightly, because they are assassination attempts that must be dealt with immediately.
I recall similar actions by PNC thugs against former President Janet Jagan, when mock funeral services were held at City Hall. In fact, they did follow through with their plans to assassinate her when they lobbed a grenade at the Pegasus hotel, thinking that the president was there at an official function.
So these events are no chance occurrences; they are planned, and if opportunity affords itself, could very well be executed attempts on the life of Sooba. Once again I call on Sooba to take this very serious matter to court.
